Frameworks, Assessments and Milestones

Most states require the use of learning standards to track developmental milestones, so staff should be aware of the skills that children generally demonstrate when they reach a certain age. Once learning standards have been applied to the system, they can be added to lesson plans to ensure each domain is being covered in the classroom. Add one or multiple milestones and create daily activities to send to parents that connect with ECE state standards. Learning standards are also fully customizable.

Procare tracks in-class activities and development milestones that can then be communicated with families while connecting those activities to state standards. Procare supports a wide variety of early childhood learning methodologies and provides the ability to access and report on developmental milestones.

Alignment With State and Montessori Standards

State standards are learning and developmental goals specified by each state for what children should know or be able to do by a specified age. Milestones or learning standards allow centers to track the development of a child in a specific area. The Vine Assessments System by Procare Solutions is an early childhood learning assessments framework exclusively available with Procare’s classroom management capabilities. The Vine Assessments framework features clear and detailed terminology that aligns with standards from all 50 states.

Alternatively, Procare also allows providers to access preloaded state standards for all 50 states and Montessori learning, and also supports a wide variety of early childhood learning methodologies. To ensure the most accurate resources, we have acquired the latest standards on a state-by-state basis. Procare has a process in place to track updates to these standards as states release new or revised versions. When updates occur, we will quickly ensure the new set of standards is applied, however, we will only apply them to schools by request to avoid conflicting data.

Educational standards include broad learning goals that define what students should know, understand and be able to do in a given subject area over a period of time. Standards can be set at the state, regional, or national level.

Build student development portfolios and share them with families with daily observations. Use the student portfolios report to export student assessments for entire rooms at once. Portfolios also can be sent only for students who have progress indicated on their assessments.
